New York’s premier Latino and Ibero-American theater festival returns with 19 events featuring 23 theater, dance, music, and comedy performances, family programming, workshops, artist panels, youth awards, and an all-day conference.

Over 50 local and international artists from Argentina, Chile, Spain, Uruguay, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Colombia!

Performances are in English or Spanish.  Select Spanish language shows will incorporate English language supertitles.

The Festival will kick off its celebrations with the one-night-only Opening Night Intimate Concert titled Broadway’s R.Evolución Latina starring performers and musicians from “In The Heights” along with other talented Broadway performers. The Festival will salute dance with Pregones Theater’s Dancin’ in Da Bronx and provide comic relief with the Comedy Bailout Package at the Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre and Queens Theatre in the Park.  With Spotlight: South America’s Teatro, New Yorkers will be introduced to the work of Claudio Tolcachir and Guillermo Calderón, two cutting-edge playwright/directors from Chile and Argentina, and GlamourTango Quintet, an all-women ensemble from Uruguay and Argentina, will pay homage to women’s contributions to Tango. The celebrated TeatroStageFamily will premiere Spain’s Open Sesame! with larger-than-life puppets in black light.  In addition, Cuban Theater: From Its Origins to the Present will feature an all-day lecture series by the Cuban Cultural Center of New York.

TeatroStageFest is a production of the Latino International Theater Festival of New York, Inc. (LITF/NY) a not-for-profit organization that promotes and supports Latino Theater in New York year-round, co-founded in 2005 by Jose W. Fernandez (Chairman) and Susana Tubert (Producing Executive Director).
